Using the Battery

Battery Capacity

Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides approximately 2.4 hours of continuous digital talk time (1.3 hour in analog) or approximately 168 hours of continuous digital standby time (15

hours in analog). The battery charges in about 4 hours

using the travel charger supplied with your phone.

Approximately five minutes before the battery charge level gets too low to operate the phone, the battery sensor will let you know by blinking an empty battery icon (

), sounding an audible alert and displaying a warning message. If you continue to operate the phone without charging, the phone will turn off automatically (after a three to five minute delay). If this happens, your call will end.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and

Browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Be sure to charge your phone’s battery and watch your indicator to

ensure your levels are okay.

Installing the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a LiIon battery. Follow these steps to install it:

1. Place the battery on to the back of the phone, making sure that the

three plastic tabs line up with the corresponding slots on the phone.

2. Gently push the battery down and upward on the phone until it snaps

into place.

Removing the Battery

To remove your battery for charging or for another reason, follow these easy steps:

1. Make sure the power is off by pressing and holding so you don’t

lose any stored numbers or messages.

2. Push down the battery release latch and slide the battery downwards.

3. Lift the battery away from the phone.

Section 2

24 Getting to Know Your Sprint PCS Phone

Charging the Battery

Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a rechargeable battery. You should charge the battery as soon as possible so you can begin using your phone.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge gets too low, the battery icon (

) blinks and the phone sounds

a warning tone.

Always use a Sprint PCS-approved Travel Charger or Vehicle Power Adapter to charge your battery.

Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your

phone and void the warranty.

Using the Travel Adapter

To use the travel charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug the travel charger power cord into a wall outlet.

2. Plug the other end of the travel charger into the bottom of the phone,

with the battery installed.

The LED on the phone indicates the following:

䊳 A red light with battery animation indicates the battery is charging. 䊳 A green light without animation indicates the battery is fully

charged.

䊳 A yellow light indicates that the battery is operating at a temperature

that is too high or too low, or that there is a poor connection. Make sure the phone is resting in the charger slot.

It generally takes about four hours to fully recharge a completely discharged battery. With the Sprint PCS-approved LiIon battery, it is practical to recharge the battery before it becomes completely discharged.

To get the quickest charge for any battery:

䊳 Turn the phone off.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding How Roaming Works

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Roaming Indicator

Sprint PCS Nationwide Network

Other Digital Networks

Analog Indicator

Analog Networks

Tip: Remember, when you’re using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network,

always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number.)

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences including:

䊳 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and

dropped calls.

Section 3

28 Understanding Roaming

䊳 Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS Network,

such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

䊳 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)

that exist with conventional analog services today.

䊳 Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for

analog roaming.

Tip : If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter

an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the Roaming menu option, you determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual-band mode phone to control your roaming experience:

1. Press for Main Menu

2. Press for Roaming.

3. Press for Set Mode. To select an option, scroll to select

Automatic, Sprint PCS, or Analog.

4. Press to Save.

䊳 Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS

Service is unavailable, it searches for an alternative system.

䊳 Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint PCS

Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

䊳 Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming

system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

Programming the Phone for Voice Dialing

Programming your phone for voice activated dialing is easy. The phone provides voice prompts and screen displays to guide you through the recording process. To program the phone for voice activated dialing:

1. From the Main Menu press for Voice Dial.

2. Press for Record. The phone will prompt you to say the name

you want to program.

3. Wait for the beep and then say the name. For best results, use names

with at least two syllables, or use both a first and last name. The phone stores the name as a “first” sample, and then prompts you to say the name again.

4. Respond to the prompt by repeating the name after the beep exactly

as you did the first time. The phone stores the name as a second sample and then requests the phone number.

5. Enter the phone number on the keypad.
